The Last Summer | 
Turgeniev and Chekhov loom large in this epistolary novella written by a German author, but set in Russia at the turn of the 20th century, at a time of social unrest, when university students were revolutionaries and the upper class held the lower classes in easy contempt. Every character is self-absorbed but thinks they're more observant than the others. I wanted to knock their heads together 😂
Peirene Press always make interesting choices

Crazeedi I can still sound out the Cyrillic words!! 3mo
Dilara @Crazeedi Oh good! I copy-pasted the author's name mentioned with the photo because attribution is important, but since I can't read Cyrillic letters, I really hoped it was a real, non-inappropriate, name 😊 3mo
